ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the difficulties of opening a bank account in Thailand with a Digital Tourist Visa (DTV). Users mention that it is virtually impossible to obtain a bank account with this type of visa, as it is considered a long-term tourist visa and does not qualify for banking services. Alternatives such as setting up accounts with services like Wise or Revolut prior to arrival are suggested.
